Shall the President of the Board of Supervisors nominate three members and the Mayor nominate four members to the Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors, and shall the members be prevented from serving as "holdovers"?
The Mayor appoints all seven members, who are confirmed by the Board of Supervisors after a public hearing. The members are appointed to four-year terms. After a member serves a term, he or she may continue to serve as a "hold-over" until reappointed or replaced. THE PROPOSAL: Proposition D is a Charter amendment that would allow the president of the Board of Supervisors to nominate three of the seven members of the MTA Board of Directors. The Mayor would nominate the other four members. Each nomination would be confirmed by the full Board of Supervisors. In addition to the qualifications that apply to all members of the MTA Board, at least one member nominated by the president of the Board of Supervisors must have a physical disability. After a member of the MTA Board of Directors has served a term, the position would be vacant until the member is either reappointed or replaced. Members could not continue to serve as "hold-overs." The current MTA Board of Directors would leave office April 30, 2006. Seven new members would take office on the same date. Three of the new members would serve for two years to stagger the terms of the new MTA Board members.
